Outside you will find your own secluded spot to enjoy the countryside views with a glass of wine in hand, let your furry friend roam the lands whilst you delve into a good book as the sun sets ahead.

The cottage benefits from a fabulous riverside location, offering a communal garden where you can bring a packed-lunch and walk down to the bridge and the river and immerse yourself in the tranquil surroundings.
